Middle age crazy?




Well, I don't know if this can actually be considered "middle age crazy" but we are no longer driving a mini-van. Im sure some of you remember the '69 Impala that Henry and I shared many years back. Well now it looks like we are once again both be owning the same kind of car. Henry and Marg have had an Impala for some time now and we just got ours yesterday. Ours, however, is an '04 SS edition so Margaret suggested that maybe I was going through a mid-life crisis. I have always admired them since the first time that one caught my eye. I will post this picture and when I find one of the '69 I will put that on here and you can see the difference that almost 40 years makes.
Just a bit of an update on Ashley. She arrived back home from Costa Rica on Wednesday. All is well, she had about 900 pictures on her camera, many stories to tell and a really nice tan. Thanks to all who prayed. I'm sure that she will have some pictures and stories on her blog.

Nice car!. I don't think that's mid life crisis yet. It's still a 4 door. Once it's got 2 seats, then I'd say it's a mid life crisis. Right now it's just a nice car.
Glad to hear Ashley's home safe.

Hey guys, I've enjoyed keeping up with you all. Henry's mid life crisis car is going to be a convertible rabbit :) Thank goodness it's still a few years away (we hope). Can you post a link to Ashley's blog? I'd like to read about her trip, it sounds exciting! TTYS, Loretta

Very nice car, Abe. The way I look at it, if you don't need a mini-van why have one. I think a mid life crisis is when you buy yourself a flashy little yellow SUV. :)

If that was my mid life crisis Margaret, then I'm having another one. I deserve it!

Abe it doesn't count. The car needs to have only 2 doors and a back seat so small you need a shoe horn to get in it. With maybe a little butter on the hips to get past the door posts. But that is a nice car. How fast will it go?

It would seem from everyone's comments that maybe a Camaro, or Corvette might be a "mid-life car". I will see what I can do in the next few years. About the fast question you had John; I was reading some info on it the other day and in 1965 the Impala SS came with a 409 with 425hp. It would do 0-60 in 8 seconds. This car will do 0-60 in 6.8 seconds. So it moves along alright for a 4 door sedan with only a V6. And it gets really good mileage too.

K. I don't know much about having a midlife crisis, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to talk about practical things like mileage.

Nice car. Hope you enjoy it. Art keeps saying he want to have a mid-life crisis, but he can't afford it yet, until he can get the little sports car to go with it.
